Mother Is the Word for God



The first we see.
The first to console.
The first to give peace
In a new world out of control.

It must be amazing to be a mother.

You give nutrition.
You give discipline.
You give comfort, both on the outside and within.
You are the one.

It is the most awesome responsibility.

Even now that I'm older;
Even now that I'm a father;
Even now that I pray to our God;
I look to you, my Mother.

Mother is the word for God to all children, and I am no different.
